A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

I’m still a fan of a liberal education
You read interesting books have great conversations and learn about people who are different from yourself
Makes you a better person and a better citizen

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

House Republicans have been on vacation for 20 days.

The government is shut down and health care costs are exploding.

Cancel the vacation, and let’s get back to Washington. We have work to do.
